All the while, the deadly "Imaginator" is out to change the world one mind at a time. Can you escape from the clutches of the Imaginator...?
Yoshihiro Kawabata will launch Boogiepop at Dawn (Yoake no Boogiepop) in the June issue of Dengeki G's Comic magazine on April 28.
Seven Seas Entertainment published the original light novel in English, and it describes the story:
The origin of Boogiepop revealed at last! Not only is this the long-awaited story of how Boogiepop was born, but it is also the tale of four very strange individuals: a detective, an eater of fear, a popular writer and a skilled assassin. Uncover all the secrets!
In addition to publishing several volumes in the original light novel series, Seven Seas Entertainment published the Boogiepop Never Laughs manga and the Boogiepop Dual manga.
